I felt I was being generous when I was searching for a car, MSRP, Manual transmission, no options (no audio, no clear bra, no lug nuts, no sticker that says 'scion' on the bumper), you'd think I had called up and said "After I fucked your mom last night she said I could get the car for free". If it wasn't for my father calling every dealership in the area and some out of state I simply would not own this car because nobody was willing to sell me what I wanted.
I didn't mind waiting, putting down a deposit, I was flexible on color, didn't matter. Even then, when I sat down to sign the paperwork it took 4 hours, 3 of which were sales tactics of "oops messed up the form, gotta print again on this machine that was obsolete before you were born, in the meantime howabout this sticker that's going to protect your car from being stolen for $500? It's only $8/month!"
There are some dealerships that would have killed to have me as a customer, MSRP, no options, just pull the car off the truck peel the plastic off do the inspection, test drive, sign the papers and drive away, it would have been 3 hours worth of work for them and fat profit margin.
